Mack the Knife

via myahkeitaro

A sequel to the Mack the Knife Chorus Line, featuring some versions of the original German song. A moritat was a medieval murder ballad sung by German minstrels. The German version of the song is darker than its English counterpart, describing Macheath as not only a murderer and robber, but a rapist and an arsonist as well.
